Hey everyone, welcome back. Think
0:01
Netflix can't get any better? Think
0:03
again. Today, we're about to level up
0:05
your streaming experience. Ever wish
0:06
Netflix sounded like you're actually in
0:08
the show? Well, with spatial audio, that
0:10
dreams a reality, and you don't need
0:12
fancy surround sound systems to enjoy
0:14
it. In this video, we'll break down what
0:16
spatial audio is, how it works on
0:17
Netflix, and why it's a gamecher for
0:19
your viewing experience. If you're
0:21
enjoying this, hit that thumbs up so
0:22
YouTube can recommend it to others, and
0:24
make sure to subscribe for more easy
0:26
tech tips. Let's jump right in. Spatial
0:28
audio on Netflix is included with the
0:30
premium subscription tier. And the best
0:31
part, you don't need expensive equipment
0:33
to enjoy it. It works with any device
0:35
that supports stereo audio like your
0:37
headphones, earbuds, speakers, or sound
0:38
bars. Netflix uses a technology called
0:40
AM2 channel. Licensed from Sennheiser to
0:43
bring immersive audio to life. This tech
0:45
allows sound mixers to adapt Dolby Atmas
0:47
soundtracks for spatial audio.
0:49
Basically, you get the three-dimensional
0:51
sound you would experience in a theater,
0:52
but without the need for surround sound
0:54
speakers. Now, here's where it gets
0:55
interesting. Netflix has partnered with
0:57
Dolby Atmos and this means that you get
0:59
directional sound like hearing things
1:01
coming from behind you, above you, or
1:03
even below you. Imagine watching a movie
1:05
where helicopters are flying overhead
1:06
and you can hear them zooming across the
1:08
room or in Stranger Things hearing the
1:10
monster creep up behind you, feeling it
1:12
almost literally behind you. The
1:13
immersion is unreal. Spatial audio on
1:15
Netflix is available in over 700 titles,
1:18
including popular shows like Stranger
1:19
Things, The Witcher, The Crown,
1:21
Extraction, Bird Box, and loads more. To
1:23
see which titles are compatible, just
1:25
search for spatial audio in the Netflix
1:26
search bar or look for the spatial audio
1:28
icon next to the title's description.
1:30
Now, let's talk about how to enable
1:32
spatial audio. The cool thing is you
1:34
don't have to do anything extra. It's
1:35
automatically enabled when you're
1:36
watching a compatible title on Netflix
1:38
and using stereo audio. But if you want
1:41
to adjust the spatial audio level,
1:42
Netflix gives you the option to tweak
1:44
it. Just head over to your account
1:45
settings, select audio and subtitles,
1:47
and from there you can choose between
1:49
three options. off, which means no
1:51
spatial audio, low for a subtle effect,
1:53
or high for a strong immersive effect.
1:55
I've tested it myself, and let me tell
1:57
you, I was honestly blown away by how
1:59
much better it makes the sound
2:00
experience. With my headphones on, I
2:02
could hear sounds coming from all around
2:03
me, above me, below me, and even behind
2:06
me. It really felt like I was in the
2:07
scene rather than just watching it. It's
2:09
like stepping inside the movie. I highly
2:10
recommend giving it a try. Want to hear
2:12
the magic for yourself? Trust me, the
2:14
difference between traditional stereo
2:16
and spatial audio is something you've
2:18
just got to experience. It'll feel like
2:20
you're right in the middle of the
2:21
action. Dive into the world of spatial
2:22
audio on Netflix and take your
2:24
entertainment to the next level. After
2:26
you've tried it, let me know in the
2:27

2:28
viewing experience. If you found this
